thank you for the reaction in swansea bay and beyond.d this week bbc news is looking at the past and future of the health service and the quality of the care it provides. tonight, an exclusive study, carried out by four leading research organisations for the bbc, has found that while the nhs is world—leading in ensuring people are protected from financial hardship when they need treatment, its main weakness is improving outcomes for people, with some of the deadliest conditions such as cancer and heart disease. the research also finds that the nhs has fewer doctors, nurses, hospital beds, and ct and mri scanners than other comparable countries. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, has the details. i went upstairs, i woke my wife up and i said to her, "i think i might be having a heart attack." we have fewer staff, we have fewer hospital beds than other countries. i feel really proud to be a nurse and really proud to work for the nhs. 0ur nhs — staff, patients, all of us, free health ca re for everyone. and according to the report, that's where i

meanwhile, back at westminster, the government pulled the plug on a proposed tidal lagoon in swansea lagoon power, wanted the government to offer subsidies for the energy produced at swansea bay and five other lagoons. but the business secretary said the government's analysis showed the scheme was too expensive. there were cries of shame from opposition mps as he announced his decision. it would be cheaper to write a cheque for £15,000 for every single household in wales rather than subsidise this particular proposal. secretary of state for energy, when the tidal lagoon story began, can i tell the current secretary of state for energy that his statement is wrong, wrong, wrong. this announcement will be met with widespread anger in the communities i represent. it is the second broken promise from the 2015 tory manifesto on top of the cancellation of the electrification. you will never understand the frustration and anger felt in my city today. and it begs the question, madam deputy speaker, just who is speaking up for wales around the cabinet table? because it certainly isn't the secr

the swansea bay proposal would cost £13 billion to build, and would only have produced about .15% ofl cost that's more than three times as much per unit of electricity as hinkley point c. having failed the north sea in its time of need, having abandoned cost—effective carbon capture and renewable technology, why does the uk government persist with an energy policy which continues to fail scottish industry while hiking costs for consumers? the minister referred to the former mp and snp leader, alex salmond. the former member of this house, the member for gordon when he was first minister and backed the life extension of the nuclear plants in scotland, so i'm surprised that faced with this deal they are not welcoming the jobs in the supply chain from which scotland will benefit. yes, we are fixing a nuclear, but it's part of a balanced approach to making sure we have the energy sources we need to. mr speaker, the minister mentions that it's the government's priority to build the infrastructure the country needs, but with barely a mention of climate change, this announcement must feel l
